Dullscalpel Posted February 8, 2017 Posted February 8, 2017 Hi guys, So, my bike is setup on a giant indoor trainer. Something, somewhere, (sounds like behind me) is making a squeaking noise while I am training. Its a metallic like squeak- kinda like the noise a hamster wheel makes. I am not sure what is causing the noise. Any ideas??? I am a little concerned because I am doing the discovery duathlon this weekend and I don't have the time to take my bike in to my LBS beforehand

I got off and spun the back tyre and nothing- no noise, but I didn't put pressure on the tyre. I will give that a try
Dullscalpel Posted February 8, 2017 Author Posted February 8, 2017 COULD be the tyre actualy slipping on the roller , put more pressure on the tyre and see what happensI took my bike off the trainer and the noise persisted. From my untrained ear, the sound seems to be coming from either the crank or the cassette. Now, if it is coming from, say the cassette, I am concerned that it is doing some damage to the cassette or the chain. Should I be worried?

Dullscalpel Posted February 8, 2017 Author Posted February 8, 2017 I vote for quick release skewer?+1 for you! I opened and closed this and it seems to have worked. Don't ask why, but there is no more squeaking for now. Thanks so much!
